Praise God, from whom all blessings flow...

For those of you who weren't in KC this weekend or wo haven't found out already, my youngest sibling, Austin, gave his life to Christ late Sat/early Sunday. Quite a shock, as it semmed his life had been going in a direction that didn't lead to God. Praise God for seeds planted and nourished by Christian parents, as well as (hopefully) Christian siblings. Our family circle is now complete, which brings joy to my heart. Austin plans to attend KSU, mostly because there is little to no Christian influence or fellowship at Highland CC where he is currently in school.

P.S. - On a lighter note, I got a ticket Sunday morning going home to be with Austin his first Sunday as a believer, but it really doesn't bother me. :)

Hot Times in Kansas

Wow. I think today is the first time I have come home from work and seen Weatherbug reading 100+ (without the heat index)! It currently reads 102, and with the index, 110. Sometime earlier today the temp was 105, so I imagine it was around 115 with the index then. No wonder I have been perspiring profusely nearly all day at work. That really takes it out of a guy, as I'm sure you all know. That cool shower was soooo refreshing, believe me. Well, I now realize that this is indeed a totally random post, so I'll not bore you any longer.

Ok, a little news....

All right, so here is a little piece of news from my oh-so-exciting life. Since January of this year, I have been working full time in Manhattan, not sure where to go or what to do next, but believing that God would show me when it was time. Well, an opportunity has presented itself, and I am currently attempting to get things finalized. As it looks now, I will hopefully be moving to central Illinois sometime around the end of July or the beginning of August. I don't have a place to live yet, but I trust that He will provide. God willing, I will be working at Mangold Ford/Mercury in Eureka, and taking my mechanic classes at Parkland College in Champaign. I'm hoping I can find an apartment or some living arrangements around the Bloomington area. Any parayers, if you feel moved, are appreciated. None of this is concrete yet, although I have officially quit my job as of July 30. So I take each day trusting in God and His faithfulness.
